Mississippi Freedom Summer Legal Fellowship Program

Mississippi is unique in the history of American Civil Rights. In 1964, the Freedom Summer project was designed to draw the nation’s attention to the violent oppression experienced by Mississippi blacks exercising their right to vote. Volunteers on the project comprised largely of black Mississippians and more than 1,000 out-of-state students. As would-be voters sought the franchise, there were systematic violent attacks -- including arson, beatings, false arrest and murder --on the volunteers by the Ku Klux Klan, police, local and state authorities. While 1964 was significant in challenging the structures of racial subordination in Mississippi, 50 years later, many of the criminal justice problems from this period have gone unaddressed. Today, students are eager to write the next chapter in the narrative of criminal justice in Mississippi, especially during the 50th Year Anniversary of Freedom Summer.

The Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project (CRRJ), spearheaded by Professor Margaret Burnham, is uniquely positioned to address the historic racial violence in Mississippi. Each year, CRRJ helps students investigate cold-cases between 1930 and 1965. Currently, CRRJ has explored more than forty cold cases in the state of Mississippi. CRRJ focuses on acts of violence where there is virtually no record of the crimes. CRRJ has a national reputation for engaging students in research and policy initiatives on anti-civil rights violence. CRRJ’s work is a valuable research for scholars, policy makers, and organizers who seek justice for unresolved crimes from the Jim Crow and civil rights era.

Summer Fellows will investigate unresolved Mississippi homicides from 1930 to 1965. CRRJ, working closely with MIT political scientist Melissa Nobles, is creating a comprehensive database dedicated exclusively to the legal treatment of African Americans by the government actors charged with protecting them between 1930 and 1965. CRRJ’s research is aimed at establishing the scope and pattern of these past injustices, the characteristics of the incidents, their number and location. This research helps to inform the current policy initiatives to redress these past wrongs.

CRRJ also assists family members who seek to pursue restorative justice initiatives. Once CRRJ discovers that there are surviving members and tracks them down, they become an integral part of the investigation and restorative process.

The time to study this history is rapidly closing. These issues are best explored with those who were personally affected by this history, for victims of anti-civil rights violence are in the best position to convey the impact of these events on their long-term physical health and mental well-being. Those involved on the law enforcement side can shed much light on the institutional mechanics and policy concerns that were in play. Determining what actually transpired is a necessary first step in the quest for satisfactory reconciliation.

The fellowship will begin on Monday, June 16, 2014, and the law offices will remain open until August 22. Fellows are expected to work a minimum of 40 hours per week for a minimum of six weeks. All students must attend a two-day orientation in Jackson on June 14. Internships of up to ten weeks are available.

CRRJ will select 8-10 law students and college students from around the country. Each student will be assigned to investigate one or two unresolved homicides. The selection committee will take a holistic view at the applicant's personal statement, past internship/work history, and overall interest in developing essential skills while building on the institutional memory of the civil rights era. This fellowship will be a valuable aspect for those seeking to pursue academic work or employment in civil rights, human rights, and restorative justice. The following general qualifications
